5/9/06 Brewers (Davis) @ Padres (Hensley) 9:05 CST

Linebrink is just throwing straight fastballs here, hopefully Gross can catch up to one.

[Moneyv613]

Great clutch hitting from Brady

[rluzinski]

Can't disgree with Latin Cappy in the 8th. If you think T-Bow needs to come in to start the bottom of the 8th in a tie game, I think that speaks more to our bullpen that Turnbow's usage.

 

I just want him used, period.

[jloos19]

God hates the Brewers and loves the West Coast.

[And That]

I just want him used, period.

 

But not in the 8th under those circumstances. It's an away game, so there'll always be the ninth if the Padres don't score in the 8th.

[UeckerAddict]

O.K. Ricky. This would be an excellent time to not get out.

[adambr2]

I agree Capellan was a good call in the 8th, but if we don't see Turnbow in the 9th with the scored tied and 1 run will end the game, and someone else comes in and blows it, that will be 3 out of 4 days that the same decision has costed us the game.

[UeckerAddict]

Looks like Kolb.

[jloos19]

If we lose the game, I need to go in Brewers exile for a little bit.

[Riebes24]

Does anyone (Russ I'm looking at you) have any stats/percentages showing approximately how many extra innings games are won by the home team as opposed to the road team?

 

By the way, the sight of Kolb in the 9th gives me an uncontrollable urge to throw up all over myself.

[clancyphile]

Not on a road game. Turnbow's got to handle the bottom half of the inning when the Crew gets ahead.

 

Kolb's done all right so far this year.

[jloos19]

Dan Kolb, not surprising.

[DougJones43]

brady just looks terrible. he rarely hits the ball even remotely hard. he has all of 5 extra basehits this season, and it's mid-may. i can't really think of any reason anymore that bill hall shouldn't be in CF everyday he's not playing the infield.

[polwonks]

the shark is in the water

[And That]

Didn't see this mentioned, but Doug Davis with 127 pitches tonight. My arm hurts for him.

[RightFieldCoder]

hmm leadoff walk. 89% chance of them scoring?

[UeckerAddict]

Perfect. A lead off walk. Rarely does that become a factor.

[JoeH33]

Leadoff walk.....this looks promising http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

[jloos19]

I hate the Brewers...

[PeaveyFury]

I mean, seriously... is it Yost's fault that no one, including our 'best' two setup men can't keep the leadoff hitter off of first in the bottom of the 9th in 3 of 4 games?

[Team Canada]

I'm just going to go ahead and assume we lose this game.

 

If things turn out differently, wonderful.

Try looking around page 13. Plenty of good tidbits there. Here is a shock. I agree with Russ about the (non) useage of turnbow.

[polwonks]

storm clouds, cold breeze, too early for fall, eerie feeling...

[UeckerAddict]

Anyone else's heart jump when that ball got hit to second?

[rluzinski]

OK, is Kolb the better option than Turnbow in the 9th? There's no justification for letting your best reliver rot on the bench so he can compile meaningless saves. Just mindless,"follow the leader" mentality.
